There&#39;s writing posts, responding to comments on your own site, and reading and commenting on others&#39;, and it all takes time. Especially if you want to leave something thoughtful and not just &quot;yeah, that&quot; (not that that&#39;s a bad thing on occasion!). I often find time to read others&#39; blogs when I&#39;m nursing Mikko to sleep, but my hands aren&#39;t free right then to type. Then, later, I have to try to remember what I was going to say, but if he&#39;s actually asleep, that&#39;s also my only time to write my own posts (plus work on other writing, work on our home business, do housework, relax, etc.). I had this schedule worked out once where I wrote posts 3 days a week, and commented 2 days a week, but I never stuck to it. I&#39;m thinking maybe starting a new one where I comment at least 1 day a week to ease into the idea! Anyway, I&#39;m just glad I&#39;m not alone in trying to set priorities.Hobo Mamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218426698401036731.post-49370525758652629562009-10-17T05:57:17.172-07:002009-10-17T05:57:17.172-07:00I also think Edenwild and Honest to Betsy are brilliant. I have checked out the other english one you recommended too!<br /><br />It is sometimes so hard to find time to read and comment on other blogs as well as writing my own. I don&#39;t really know what I should prioritise.Cave Motherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08489375502067939290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218426698401036731.post-38011660415225147292009-10-16T23:05:06.745-07:002009-10-16T23:05:06.745-07:00Thanks Lauren! And seriously, don&#39;t feel bad about not leaving comments (especially now that I know you are thinking about what I write, it really makes me feel good). But of course, I do LOVE your comments.Lisa - edenwildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00110779167509779880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218426698401036731.post-18520155070938316982009-10-16T02:19:19.897-07:002009-10-16T02:19:19.897-07:00Oh, happy birthday, Lisa!

And what nice things you said about my blog--it makes me feel good to know you think about what I write even if you don&#39;t have time to comment. :) I&#39;d pass the award right back to you, but then that would be silly. Or would it? I was planning on recognizing your blog at some point, anyway.<br /><br />ANYWAY, thank you! And on my birthday, too, you made my day extra special!Lisa - edenwildhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00110779167509779880noreply@blogger.com
